Turned out great. I used this recipe more as guide while trying to use up what was in my fridge. I steamed the potatoes & cauliflower prior to adding them to the cassarole. I used cooked bacon instead of ham. For the sauce I just mixed together 1&1/4 C Plain Yogurt, 1/4 C Cream Cheese, 1 C milk, shredded mozzarella & parmesan, 1/2 tsp thyme, salt & pepper. Then I poured the mixture over the layers allowing the cheese to melt while cooking. Used crushed saltines instead of cornflakes for topping.

I wish when I was making this I would have went with my gut and used broccoli instead of cauliflower. It seemed like that would have gone better with the ham and potatoes then the cauliflower did. The cauliflower to me seemed out of place and didn't really add anything extraordinary. The cheese sauce was good and it did cover the casserole without tossing which I was worried about from other reviews and our potatoes cooked all the way through in the bake time stated but I do think I did slice them a little thinner than called for. Overall, ok but would probably try other recipes before having this one again.

I thought this was very tasty and easy to make. I did use crumbled bacon rather than ham, used a combination of colby, cheddar, and swiss cheese, and also added some cayanne for a little kick.

This is going on top of my list of favorite casseroles. It was absolutely delicious and easy to make. The only change I made was to use crushed ritz crackers instead of corn flakes, and to leave out the cauliflower. Thanks for a great recipe!

This was a really good cassorole. Since many people complained about potatoes that took forever to bake, I boiled them first for about 20 minutes. Then they only needed about 25 minutes baking time. The onion was very sharp, and my kids kept picking it out. Next time I'd saute it. I left out the ham. I also used broccoli instead of cauliflower since that's what I had and it was great, added color too.

I added french fried onions instead of cornflakes. However when i reheated it as leftovers- i was out of the onions and used cornflakes also very good!

This was great. A bit heavier in the prep than I realized, but once it came together it was great! Everyone liked it, and the kids didn't even realize they were eating cauliflower and onions!

Delicious - this was a hit with my family. I especially liked that it baked in the amount of time the recipe said. (I've always had trouble with other recipes with the potatoes not being done.)

I used 3/4 cup montery jack cheese, and 1/2 cup asiago which created a tangy flavor to the potato. I also added 1 tsp.white pepper and 1 tsp garlic powder to give it a kick. Sampling the cheese sauce itself was almost enough for me. Try topping it with Frenches fried onions.

I made a few adjustments and it turned out very tasty! I did double the cheese sauce which was a little more than I needed. I added 4 minced garlic gloves and a pinch of white pepper to the sauce as others had stated it lacked a little spice. I used fresh cauliflower that I cooked for a couple minutes first. Lastly, I crushed up some garlic cheese croutons for the top. Yummmy!

This was really good. Only made a couple of changes, which was to omit the onion (personal preference), to divide the cheese sauce into two portions, one of which I poured over just the potato layer, and the other I poured over the top as per the recipe, and I used breadcrumbs instead of corn flakes. Was a little on the salty side due to the ham, so next time wont add any additional salt, but was tasty and will make again.

Great Great Great Meal. Used All different kinds of left over cheeses from the fridge to make the cheese sauce. We used fresh Cauliflower instead of frozen, and DIDN'T pre-steam it. Did have to cook for an extra 30mins because we doubled the recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly except I slightly increased the milk and cheese to make sure there was enough sauce. I didn't put any ham in it. This was worthy of the name "best". We all loved it!

This was a yummy recipe. I did make a few changes. I thought Swiss cheese was too potent and used shredded cheddar cheese, which I already had on hand. I also had some leftover beef summer sausage from Christmas that I used instead of ham. I think most meats would work.

This was delicious but I only gave it 4 stars because of the cooking time. It took almost 2 hours for the potatoes to get soft enough (and even then a few in the middle were a little hard). I made this for dinner, and we couldn't wait any longer to eat. I used a blend of cream cheese, ricotta and mozzarella, because that's what I had on hand. After all the waiting though, it was very tasty. Maybe next time I need to use a bigger pan so that the potatoes can spread out more.

It was awful. It said to put the cheese sauce on top. I did that and that is were it stayed. It was awful. Had to toss it. I had company and was so embarrassed. Thank goodness it was just a family member.

Love the taste, but I will change a few things for next time. I will dice the potatoes instead of slicing them(make it easier for the kids and us to eat!) I will also double the sauce and make it cheesier(it doesn't seem to be enought sauce, especially when it is reheated for leftovers!) and I will also tack on 20 minutes of cooking time, as the potatoes were not done by following the times given(my oven even runs hot!) I did substitute half whole wheat flour for half of the all purpose flour and also added 2 tablespoons of soy flour for protein(which worked out wonderfully). Once the potatoes were done, it was a yummy meal! My family wasn't too happy about the extra wait time though....

It's just ok. If I were to ever make it again I would omit the onions and make a richer cheese sauce.

Definatley comfort food! I used fresh cauliflower and small potatoes and the cooking time was about 15 minutes less. Next time instead of ham I'll try broccoli for the veggies in the family. So good, but this makes more like five or six servings in my house not the 10 that the recipe claims.

The name says it all--The best!! I made the cheese sauce with half and half and doubled the spices. From other reviews I sauced and seasoned each layer of potatoes with Mrs. Dash and combined the rest of ingredients with reserved sauce before pouring all over the potato layers. I added mushrooms and chopped ham to the cauliflower and onions. I used one head fresh cauliflower. I will definately make this again and again! My husband wouldn't let me take it to work for a pot-luck, it was that good. Thanks!!
